Leave home, return to where you were?

Danikat

When you preview a house you don't own and then leave through the door you get put back wherever you were in the world before you entered it.

Is there a way to do that with houses you do own?

BlackSparrow

I haven't found an option like this in my time messing around with Housing. The only place I can think this would be is in the Housing Editor settings, and it's not there.

Looks like you're stuck, sorry.

Perhaps maybe you should purchase a home or get the free apartment you receive from finishing the quest to find out.

Danikat

I assumed it was obvious I wouldn't ask without checking it out myself first. I know that if you leave through the door you, quite naturally, end up outside the property.

But what I'm wondering is where there is another way to leave - one that does not specify a destination and therefore puts you back where you were before you entered. Maybe a button buried in a menu which I haven't noticed or something like that.

i personaly "do not want that"
i like it that when i leave my house it lands me at the front door of that zone and not where i was when i ported to my house.
for realism.
and for immersion
and for ease of location and expectancy.
i like it the way it is. leave it as is please.

I'm not asking for it to be changed. I'm asking if the option already exists.

Sometimes I like to leave my house and end up outside it. But other times I would like to be able to go straight back to where I came from. (For example if I was just visiting to use a crafting station or drop off a piece of furniture.)

I've been experimenting with this and I've found if I go to a house I own, then preview one I don't own and then leave I usually end up back where I started instead of back in my house, but that's a pretty round-about way of doing it.

@Danikat I do not believe that option exists.

You can use the command "/stuck" I believe and it will cost you to travel to the nearest default spawning point.

If you own a home in a zone you normally have access to, when you go out the door you are in thr same zone as the house you are in. If your in a house, say in a DLC zone you have not unlocked, then you get ported back to where you were.

The option you seek does not exist. The closest thing would be a wayshrine in your front yard which many people have asked for. What you're asking for would be nearly equivalent to the haven bag mod on Skyrim. Then in that case, there is little point to having any housing zones at all.

The issue with what you suggest would give you access to storage containers in your home at no time-cost pentality. You could be in a delve and port to home and manage inventory and port back to delve. This is allowed when previewing houses, because it's just a preview with no function.

Allow the player to leave the home and then port back to where they were, and you've just eliminated the need for wayshrines altogether. Also consider what happens when you port to guild hall to craft and then port back to the dungeon or delve you were in.

It would eliminate need for portable banker and merchant.

I would personally love a portable house like the old Haven Bag of Skyrim. I used that mod during my final days of playing it since going home for inventory and crafting management was a tedium I no longer desired.

Danikat

Well I posted this in February 2017, before the storage chests existed, so that wasn't a consideration at the time and housing was brand new so I wasn't sure what was or wasn't possible.

Yes... But you have to own a house in a DLC/Chapter that you do not own.

Just a question, but why is porting to your house fine, but porting out of your house an immersion killer?

EDIT

Didn't realise some necro'd this thread, sorry.

eso_nya

Go to your house -> travel to a friends house -> relog.

Nightfall12

Also i believe if you "preveiw" a limited time house you don't own, from inside your house it should exit you to where ever you entered your house....Oh how many times i have gazed upon you linchal manor....

snegurd

@nightfall12 is correct, if you travel to your home and then preview a different home (or i think travel directly to a dungeon or trial) when you leave that second instance you will find yourself where you were before you traveled to your own home.

You want realism in a fantasy game that people call thunders, get invisible, resurrect dead, heal wounded in .5 sec, summon shalks, have dragon fires dragon wings, teleport and streak?

That makes perfect sense i should say.

But my opinion is: I dont have enough free time everyday to travel with my imaginary horse i summoned in 1 sec to the next way shrine and realistically teleport to the targeted city.

Leaving home and going back to where i was would be the best for me, or a promt that would ask "get back to previous location" Or "exit house" to keep us both realistically interested and pleased .

Personally having a difficult time choosing a side on this issue ...

On the one hand, players who can't be bothered with an extra load screen (or porting back to a friend or guildie in the zone they were in) are being outright lazy.

On the other hand, players have often made a significant resource investment in their house ... whether that be in-game gold, crowns, or via crafting.

If ZOS has hit the ceiling on furnishing slots, then other "perks" should be reviewed. Such as a simple exit toggle that lets players return to where they were in Tamriel.

Put a wayshire we can use in our homes would be the best option I think.
